semicircularly emarginate in front to receive the head, the 
anterior angles obtuse, the sides rounded, the posterior 
margin obliquely bitruncate. The punctuation is sparse on

anterior angles it is thick and strong. The elytra rather 
shorter than broad, the sides gently rounded to the apex ; 
the striz are not very deeply impressed, indistinctly and 
remotely punctured ; the interstices gently convex, some- 
what sparingly but strongly punctured, the punctures 
forming irregular lines bordering the striz. Pygidium 
moderately convex, coarsely and rather thickly punctured. 
Legs pitchy-black; the anterior tibiz quadridentate on 
the outer edge; the antenne pale ferruginous. The 
punctures both on the upper and under surfaces of the 
insect bearing short ferruginous hairs, especially on the 
under side.
